Watson was a kingly man, and Me h dism owes him a vast debt of gratitude. His qual in his high in elec uai endowmen s as not yet appeared in the Meth dist houseold. . . .

In non-Metlist churches many eminent defenders of the aith are bastening to the new field of con ict. And in Methodist communions able ampions are contending for the ru h as it in Jesus. But yet clear-sighted Methodist es would grow bright with joy could they see another Ricard Watson, fittingly med from head to foot, pressing onward to e ba tle ront." ut THEOLOGIÆ autem objectum est ipse Deus.-Habent alæ vines soientiw see võjuviu, avõžim in quibus humana mens considerandis tempus, otium, et diligentiam adhibeat.
